从碑铭看清代清水江下游地区的社会规约

Social Conventions Reflected in the Inscriptions in Lower Reaches Areas of the Qingshui River

清水江下游地区,清代以来民众通过刊刻碑铭的形式形成了行之有效的地方社会管理模式。举凡修桥、铺路、修庙、边界争端、民众纠纷、地权关系等不同内容之碑铭,都是地方社会生活利益诉求的不同表现。通过对碑文中民众制订的社会规约进行梳理与解读,可以更为清晰地认识到清代清水江下游地区的地方社会规约作为社会管理的主要形式,其动力乃是民众利益的需要,亦是王朝国家与地方社会互动的结果。

Since the Qing Dynasty, effective social management was achieved in the form of inscrip- tions in the lower reaches areas of the Qingshui River Valley. Inscriptions concerning the construction of bridges, roads and temples, border disputes, civil disputes or land rights disputes are just the re- flections of the interests of different social life. From the inscriptions, a clearer picture can be made a- bout the social management in the areas, resulting from the interaction between the royal power and the local communities to meet the needs of public interests.
